Can you camp as long as you want along the Kern River? Are long-term, extended camping stays allowed along the Kern River? These are some questions you might be asking if you are planning to travel through the southern end of the Sequoia National Forest, near Kernville, California. Many tourists and visitors pass through the Kern area on their way from Death Valley, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. We are conveniently located within this triad of cities, and boy does our topography and geography look a lot different than those cities.
For campgrounds managed on public lands here in the Sequoia National Forest, the local Kern River Ranger District allows stays of up to 14-days, and then you need to move to a new location. Private campgrounds like Kern River's Edge allow more flexibility and extended camping stay options.
Work while you Play!
